Well, yeah, if you are a Plantagenet from Margaret, then Edward I was one of her grandfathers (leaving out the greats), unless you mean cousins married cousins (which happened all the time, especially in royal families). But if you are descended from Eddie, (not a great one from the point of view of the Welsh or the Scots), then you are definitely descended from: Eleanor of Aquitaine - a very fascinating woman, & John (Eleanor's son) - a rotter (really a pretty bad guy - sorry.)
& a fun note: The Plantagenets had a reputation of being descended from the devil - via Melusine (from over in France), which I always regarded as good public relations. But, (this is a joke) if it resurfaced in Salem....
